HISTORY OF - THE FIGHT.
flow Incendiary and Socialistic
Harangues Led up- te Blood
shed. ; -. '
The city has been , comparalivelv
quiet today after the short, bloody
battle last night, but 1 he spirit of de
struction and slaughter is abroad,
and there have been several minor
collisions between " the police and
would-be rioters.- "The feeline of in
digDation and shame is intense, and
from this time on freedom of speech
m the line of incendiary orations will
be summarily suspended. : ' ' ' t
une shorr. sharp connict could not
have been better planned on the part
of the Anarchists. 1 As plainly, as
words could provoke action' the work
of thered flag followers came after
t -.e words of their leaders, and the
Socialist doctrindtoq began the reign
oxpwoawles ness - which -tbey have
threatened and endeavored to incite
for years.: They threw.a , bomb into
the midst of a line of 200 police offi
c r., and it exploded with fearful ef
fect, mowing.mea down like . cattle.;
Almost before the- missile of death
had expl xled, tie AnarchistffsJirect-
ed a murderous, fire Jrpm., revolvers
upon the police; and s as -the - latter
were hemmed in on .every side - am
buscaded tb& effect of the' fire upon
the ran&s of the officers was. fearful.:
When the police had recovered "from
the first shock of the attack they galj
lanijy charged.upon their,, would-.be
maroerers, snootmz at every- Kiep
and dropped them; as their . fellow
officers had been cut down -by the
b imb. The Anarchists' fled in dis
may before the charge, bat . every
where they turned the withering hre
from the reyol vers of . the ."policemen'
fi llowed them, and tbianed their
ranks. -The cowardly curs, finding
that their attack did not completely
annihilate, the officers and that a
force large enough to cope with thf m
was left, fled in all directions, seeking
the darkness of alleys, : hallways and
side streets to escape the punishing
fire of the police., -" "1 . ' - "
I v FROM WORDS TO BLOWS.
The latter had its origin directly in
the. efforts of the,, Anarchist leaders
to bring jt about. : August Spies, Bam
Fielden and A, R Parsons succeeded
in inciting a largemass'-meeting to
riot and-bloodshed. From the Soci
.ajititic headquarters there was issued
late in me atternoon tne louowiug
circular, , wbijh was ; distributed
throughout the laboring, quarters of
the city by thousands: h ' : ' -
"Attention, workingmen 1 Great
mass meeting to night at 7:30 o'clock
at the Hay market, Randolph, street,
between Desplaines and tlalstead
Good speakers will be present to de
iiounce the latest atrocious act of the
police, the shooting of our fellow
workmen yesterday afternoon. The
Executive Committee." .
At 8 o'clock a large crowd had col
Iected on Uesplaines street, lusrl
norm 01 jianaoipn, m a aimiy iignt -ed
spot near which were many wag
ons and trucks.'-August Spies was
the first speaker. After a lorig, ram
bling talk on the", labor . problem, he
asked: "What means this display of
Gatliog guns, cannon, bayonets,
patrol wagons and clubs? .What
means the. calling out ' ot the first
Regiment? It is ah entertainment f;r
Sou, gentlemen. The demand of the
cCormiok men was reasonable, and
yet McGormick denies that he is re
sponsible for the .. bloodshed yesteis

voice : 'Put him : under the lakeJ'
"The rope is better.") ; Don't make
useless threats my friends, but when
you ara ready, act (A voice: "Stiing
bim-up") Thtre are 25,000 to 30,000
families in Chicago suffering starva
tion today -because husbands and
fathers are not men enough to stand
up for their rights." .
Loud cheers followed trus speech.
and the cries of 'the lake", and "the
rope"; " were beard from -. hoarse

He harangued the mob in a loud, bla

was the crowd before him- . tie said;

' Aa the word left: his mouth a eplu!-j
taring epaik of fire arched through
the air from the opening of the alley
and oyer the speaker's wgon. ;
was the burning fuse of a dynamite
bomb. .1 It was well aimed in its
deadly 'mission, and fell directly in
the middle of tbe street and between
the first two double file Of police,
Tbe instant it struck 'the groiiird it
exploded with a terrible flullen -roar;
Beeminar to shake the earth."""' Men.'
fearfully wounded and dyingfriell on
all sides, the death-dealmg contents
of the bomb reached almost -toi the
.rear ranks.' Twenty nine mangled
omcers were eroaned on tbe ground
A Gatling gun could 10 1 have oat a
"Wiser Swath ; A S.?enn of hnrrni fftt
lowt d, the details of which may nev.
er be k&own. , The officers were des
moralized and for an instant broke
ranks, but in almost an ins a t
gained their presence of mind. - Be
fore they had time to realize the de-
s. ruction which had been wrought in
their ranks the crowds of Anarchists
gathered in front on either side of
them opened fire with the revolvers
at point-blank iange.- The first vol
lay .'of the mob was quite as fearful in
its effectjas was the explosion of the
bmb, buTthe Hpfficers did not, lose
their presence of mind.. . Orders flew
thick and fast from the captains and
lieutenants, and, within the briefest
possible . space., of . time .they , were
charging the murderous-assassins on
every hand, dealing death land de
struction to them , with Jihaeir revolt
vers. . The . Anarchists did not sus
tain the charge an instant, but fled
as Booh as they could distinguish the
blue coats and bright buttons of the
officers through the smoke from theif
revolvers. '. The ", cracking of tbese
weapo'os was incessant for five min
uled, and only , once was anything
like a .volley ' fired, .from either side.
This : was, fired by the ; Anarchists
when the' bomb exploded in the ranks
of :hhe police, thus' showing that they
bad .seemingly been carefully; drilled
bef ore-band, to act n concert. When
th0 officer's ;emptied their pistols they,
used tm aaplubsjlandt .is quite'
prpmaQa that numerous skulls were
fractured. : With the revolver shots
cracking' like a tattoo and the bullets
singiog in tbe air: ther mob ; plunzed
jtwaynto the t darkness, with a yell
01; rage ana tear it was an inde
scribable scramble ftr 1 fe.. Scores 1 1
men were knocked down bv. these be
hind them and trampled .upon, them
like cattle in a car. hnable to 1 he.
Those on the , jnneii circle; f the
prowd -were at the mercy: of the po
lice and were shot down. 3?be police
pur ued the mob for half e block up
and down Randolph street. '. No man
was spared, ' All who were overtaken!
by the officers ; wre shot down and
clubbed; "In a moment after the ex
plosion the streets ' "were' cleared, but
within a radius of 100 feet ! of the
spot where the 'bomb had fallen fully
sixty men lay wounded on the ground. ;
The. centre of the street seemed full
of writhing, groaning men calling for
help. ? Under the - iron stairway on
the northwest corner of the street
two citizens lay, one insensible, the
other moaning feebly and unable toi
rise down the basement stairway.
Under them three 'men lay, propped
against tbe lamp-post; on the corner
was a wounded mar, and at his feet
in the gutter another. Across the
street on the northeast -corner three
men lay in the gutter.
-1 At foe head of the "basement stair
way one lay silent, . Another sat up
holding a bleeding leg and begging
the officers not to - kill him. Reclin
ing on the stairs below them were
two suffering men " and in the area
way ; below three- more. East and
.west cn r Randolph street rounded
men lay in doorways. Within five
minu es after IheTflring had ceased
eight men lay in the alley, near the
wagon 'between Randolph and Lake
streets. No citizens were dead that
had been found within an hour after
the riot, v"-;.;
For some "minutes after the mob
had left, the police kept up a frenzied
search for any who had taken refuge
n? ar by. Those who met the officers
calmly were allowed, to go. butall
who attempted to escape were merci
lessly clubbed: :rr
' After the Anarchists had been dis
pereed, the police set to work to look
after their: wounded and dying com
panions. :The officers paid no atten
tion to the wounded strikers at first,
only thinking; of their fallen, com
rades. :. They picked them up -and
bore those ; who could not i walk or
move to the station, .and assisted all
with slight wounds to walk to their
homes. ; The drug stores and saloons
about the ' scene, of battle were soon
filled with "wounded men, but it was
impassible - to.: get any idea of their
number. The equadroom : in the.
Desplaines street station half an hour
after the shooting resembled- a field
hospital. : Wounded and dyjng po-
I cemen were lying -every wnere. ru
teen wounded officers . sat: in chairs
around the room, heroically waiting
'or the arrival of" surgeons. It was a
battlefield scene. . Policemen who es
caped without injury i were acting a
nurses, .assisting the; few surgeons
who bad reached the station when the
men were brought in.' Chief Eber
sold and Capta. Bonfield .and Ward
were on band also, and by their com :
mand a large number of patrol wag
ons were called to convey tbe men to
hospitals. Among the first to arrive
at the station were""ByeTCatholic
priests, who im mediately ' busied
tnemselves among the wounded. :y

Tbeir presence and kindly minis

especially those whose .injuries were
so desperate tnac tnere was no nope

Flavin lay on a table in the centre of
tne room unconscious. - Aoove , nis
heart was a great blotch of red which
told the story of his fate. His life
was fast ebbing away, and tbe only
thing that could be done for him was
to minister to his spiritual welfare.
Officers George Miller- and Tom Red -
din; both fearfully . wounded, lay on
either side of Flavin, one on the floor
and the other on chairs. Miller's face
was fearfully cutr. and bruised, his
UmbS were paralyzed - by numerous
wounds, and his body w as-pierced by
six bullets. , He ; snxiled . cheerfully.

to the side of bis improvised coc
Reddtn. though as . desperately
wounded as Miller, was more fully
alive to his condition. ' ' . . " , .
Outside, officers stood guarding the
wagons and silently awaiting orders

was indicative of a great deal, as was
shown when the order to fall in was

It is. not necessary' to ; recount
alii
pur folly and improvidences. . These
instances are enough, and more than
enough, to remind us ho w helpless
and dependent we are, without cause

that can justify i-oumegleot of our
resources, and there is little evidence
that we intend to profit by the les sons
of experience or the taunts of

all the year through, says the New
York Herald, "human nature seems,
most incompetent ta make full use of

13 not a flattering show for us but it
is necessary to confront and consider
; an me same. ; Many reasons are
given tor the poverty of ou people
and it is as well tq discover and Btate
the true one -That reason seems to
be, ii view of . the f-.cts s presented,
that we are i more inclined to waste
